This Mediterranean Salmon Bake is a celebration of simple, fresh ingredients that come together in a dish that’s both elegant and incredibly healthy. Tender salmon gets brushed with a bright mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and garlic that infuses it with Mediterranean flavor, while juicy cherry tomatoes and briny black olives roast alongside, creating bursts of sweetness and salt in every bite. A sprinkle of tangy feta cheese adds the perfect finishing touch, melting slightly from the residual heat and creating that signature Mediterranean richness—all in one pan and ready in under 30 minutes.
